Drug Center Certification Delayed - 1990-10-17

The delay will give the state Board of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services more time to review the transcript from the four-hour hearing as well as "other documents related to the program's operation," Brown said.

The board had been scheduled to consider Narconon's certification Thursday. A new date has not yet been set, she said.

A critical issue will be whether Narconon's approach to treatment, which emphasizes saunas and vitamins, "falls within generally accepted treatment practices," Brown said.
